(Non-Spanish speakers: please see brief comment below.) India no es un lugar para almas debiles, definitivamente. Desde el primer momento me sacudio, por lo bueno y por lo malo, como siguio haciendo a lo largo de todo el viaje. Es fascinante tanto como chocante. Es una de las potencias del siglo XXI, destinada a ocupar un lugar de privilegio entre las mayores economias del mundo. Sin embargo, sobre el terreno es dificil de entender por que. Religion, atraso, una rotunda falta de educacion y, tal vez por encima de todo, una sobrepoblacion fuera de control. Pero muchos indios no parecen entender esto. Los que estan en la parte superior de la sociedad siguen su veloz carrera hacia el desarrollo sin tomar en cuenta la capacidad de lastre de los cientos de millones que se mantienen sin ... read more

Alot of things went down in regards to peoples property, we had a community meeting where I amited I had been critical of the Indian way of doing things, so a real time of humbling. I took my mobile to a guy in town and he said 100% he could remove the barring.....I so shouldnt have believe him now my phone is locked and cant use for anything! You wouldnt have liked to be there when I found out it was locked..... God gimmi more control!!! Its friday and Sunday we leave for Bhopal, Im kinda excited!

Well its gone all so fast, weve had our ups and down, good times and bad! But never losing the hope of the eternal prize!!! This week Gnash (elephant god) festival has be in Lonavla...its pretty exciting seeing the fancy colours and paganistic rituals! But as I was explaining to a Indian we have nothing to fear because we have the most high on our side! We went into a tent that had a moving scene of Krishna (we covered ourselves before we went in!) Last week before outreach, Ive got two tests, Im real excited about outreach and the potential we have in CHrist. Our outreach team has 4, Bendang (leader), Eli(Bhutanese girl), Vinod(indian) and myself! We are going to Bhopal for 11 weeks ministering to slums and training people at the Bhopal base in ... read more

THings here in India are wet but Ive kinda got used to that, Ive got used to my clothes not drying so far, Ive even just recently got used to the loud noises while I try to get to sleep, but Im still getting over the idea of people coming into our room at 11pm and turning on the light. God give me grace....cause I boiled at that point! I know what your all thinking that I was physically violent....but no, self control got the better of me! Last night we had fun night, it was a blast. The iphc crew did a skit, it went off, I was incharge! some photos in this blog!... read more

Another sleep in Wander the grounds of Sangam Did lots of reading. “Miss Congeniality 2” was way better than expected. Although I'd probably wait for the video (or rather DVD) release. We went to the INOX theatre and I would have to say it was super modern and newer looking then any of the theatres at home. Here are a couple of observations about watching a movie in India. 1) They have assigned seating! 2) There is always an intermission. Guess it is a good chance for a bathroom break and also lets you refill on the snacks...cuz you know, it's all about the snax! 3) Half of the theatre arrives just as the lights go down. As for today, I took it really easy. First another sleep in til 9AM. Then I dilly dallied getting ... read more

I have a free day Off to do some exploring Pool in the PM. Nice to be able to sleep in a bit. Not so nice waking up all hot and sticky though. I decided to venture into town and check out the Aga Khan Palace (home to the National Ghandi Museum). The Museum wasn't very impressive but it was nice to read a bit of history and some of what Gandhi did in his life. Once again I am so not knowing when it comes to these things! Then I wandered into town and roamed the shops of Mahatma Gandhi Road (also shortened to MG Road). Escaped with only purchasing one bag :) and was on the internet for a bit. Nice and speedy service and I'm now a member with iway. Whatever that means. ... read more
